Given that $triangle ABC$ is an isosceles right triangle with $AC=BC$ and angle $ACB=90°$. $D$ is a point on $AC$ and $E$ is on the extension of $BD$ such that $AE$ is perpendicular to $BE$. If $AE=frac12BD$, prove that BD bisects angle $angle ABC$.




I have tried proving triangle $triangle AEB$ and triangle $triangle DCB$ similar but can't do so. After some angle chasing, I arrived at the result that somehow if I prove angle $angle CDB$ to be $67.5°$ then it could be proved. But I failed to do so.enter image description here

Refer to the figure:

From similarity of triangles $Delta ADE$ and $Delta BCD$ (corresponding angles are equal):
$$fracxy=fracy-z2x Rightarrow 2x^2=y^2-zy (1)$$
From the right $Delta BCD$:
$$z^2+y^2=(2x)^2 (2)$$
Now substitute $(1)$ to $(2)$:
$$z^2+y^2=2(y^2-zy) Rightarrow \
(y-z)^2=2z^2 Rightarrow \
y-z=zsqrt2 Rightarrow \
fracy-zz=fracysqrt2y,$$

which is consistent with the angle bisector theorem.

    Let $M$ be the midpoint of $BD$ and $G$, $F$ be projections of $M$, $E$ onto $AC$ respectively.



    First notice that $angle GMD = angle DAE = 90^circ -angle ADE$.



    Now $triangle MGD$ and $triangle AFE$ are congruent as they are right triangle having equal hypothenuse ($MD=AE$) and a pair of equal angles. So $$FA = MG = BC/2 = AC/2.$$
    Thus $F$ is the midpoint of $AC$ and $AE = EC$. Since $E$ lies on the circumcircle of $triangle ABC$, it follows that $E$ is the midpoint of arc $AC$. Hence, $BE$ is the angle bisector of $angle ABC$.

      A simple geometric solution:



      Extend BC and AE to intersect at F. Triangles AFC and BDC are similar. The side CB of triangle BDC is equal to side AC of triangle AFC, this results in that other sides of AFC and BDC are equal including AF and BD and we have $AE=frac 12DB=frac 12AF$. But AE is also perpendicular to BE, that means BE is the height of ABE and triangle ABF is isosceles and its height BE bisects the angle$ <ABC$.

                          A simple geometric solution:



                          Extend BC and AE to intersect at F. Triangles AFC and BDC are similar. The side CB of triangle BDC is equal to side AC of triangle AFC, this results in that other sides of AFC and BDC are equal including AF and BD and we have $AE=frac 12DB=frac 12AF$. But AE is also perpendicular to BE, that means BE is the height of ABE and triangle ABF is isosceles and its height BE bisects the angle$ <ABC$.
